I'm sure there are some that could guarantee a win or two and probably not be too far off in doing so.  To me, it sounds more like the guy you are dealing with is desperate to move a few calves.  He won't be in business long if he's making guarantees and can't back them up.  It's really...

First off congratulations to JBH and the Goretska family.  This is a cool story. Also, it's making for some great debate.  I'd be shocked if high dollar cattle kill off too many cattle shows.  In Iowa anyway, you are hard pressed to find the really high dollar ones from Beef Expo to Majors...

Please PM price.

I'm talking about a LIVE online auction that is also LIVE audience.  So, I still don't think we are talking about the same thing.  There's no seller sitting at the table with the auctioneer.  I've been both live and participated online.  Take for instance the Damar sale last weekend.  The live...

I was speaking of an online auction format - not an online private treaty.  If the seller can organize a posse to bid up an animal in an online auction format while that animal is selling real time than more power to him.  I've purchased through the edjecast sales and it didn't seem like that...

I prefer privately and then online next.  It sounds bad but I'd rather not let either the seller or any other buyers know that I'm bidding.  I've seen too many bids get run up on buyers that don't like to lose bids.  I'm not one of those people, but it has made me a little gun shy is a public...

Anyone's calves on here make the cut?  Looks to be another AWESOME set of calves Tracy has put together.  WOW!  <beer>

RW I know you are a Red Angus guy but what were your thoughts on the Simmis?  I thought the averages might have been a little low for the quality, but I didn't get to see anything but pictures and internet footage.

Kirkwood College has a hotel on site now.  I'm not sure how they are priced or anything like that but I was by there for a sale a few weeks ago and it sure looked like it would be open now. Here's a link to the hotel: http://www.thehotelatkirkwood.com/home

Where does everybody stay when going to the American Royal?  Last year we stayed over by Arrowhead and Kaufman Stadiums.  It seems like everything is over a mile away and the downtown stuff is fairly expensive.  Just curious if the general consensus is to stay 5 miles away or if there's anything...

I thought Sojka's cattle looked great too.  The other internet sale that had some cool ones was Keller's in IL.  The internet thing seems to be the wave of the future.  How's everyone's buying/bidding experience been with that from both the seller and buyer's perspectives?  I have to believe...

Thanks for the positive response.  I'm not asking for a list of what each animal brought just your ideas on how sales are going.  In general, are they up or down.  What's your thoughts on the quality?  You don't have to tell me what you make and I didn't expect that.  Just some generalizations. ...

Good to hear that your sales did well!  Thanks for responding to my post!  Not sure what about Private Treaty Sales scared folks away from posting.  Guess I should have posted something either political or posted a picture of a calf and asked what folks thought about it.  That way I could get...

How's everyones private treaty sales doing?  I've been to a few this year so far and it seems like the prices aren't as strong as I thought they would be.  However, you hear about the $50K calves that are out there.  Just haven't been seeing them myself. Just curious what everyone else is seeing.

Why would you have to convince him?  I would think that would help the business and thus be a no brainer?

I agree with your point 100% Show Heifer.  I find it interesting that we watch on World News all kinds of protests against our country that involve flag burning, etc.  However, this one incident has brought out the big political guns to get it stopped.  Meanwhile, my Christmas vacation is now...

If I was Fabers, I would clone that same steer until someone beats it.  Why the heck not?  It's not against the rules.  Be kind of funny if they went on a 5 year winning streak with a clone of the 2008 champ.  Watch that $15000 steer take down $40-50,000 steers year after year.  Wonder how that...

The people that I've heard discuss it wasn't concerned as much with the food chain as they were with the message that we continually send to our young people by constantly pushing the limits of acceptability to WIN.  I've heard the same conversations about some of the classes having 1/2 million...

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking too.  LOL  How long did it take for the 1st bid?  I heard quite a few people talking about the record price and I thought to myself if you really count that one since it's sort of like a buy back anyhow.

I wondered if Transova purchased it out of necessity because HyVee had no plans to.  I had heard that HyVee definitely wasn't going to purchase a clone.  Who else bid on it?  Anyone know?
